The issue of death camps was not prominent during the war, and the extent to which the murder of civilians by Germany occured was greatly underestimated by the Allies. In any case, 'rescue' was absolutely impossible without first defeating Germany, an undertaking which required the combined strength of the Soviet Union, the United States, Great Britain, and various other Allied nations, over several years. The term 'Holocaust' itself did not come into general use until many years after the war, and Nazi policies of genocide, especially directed against Jews and Romany (gypsy) were side issues, never comparable in importance to the victory of the Allied forces and the defeat of Germany.
